I'm interested in the smaller Sailfish model over Marlin. I think "5 is my sweet spot. Foldable displays will change the industry for phablets that anything over "5.5 may become footnotes in history. After reading Note7 will only have a dual edged model and thinking Samsung wants to milk this cosmetic gimmick, the focus is back on Nexus.
I keep reading about future battery technology on PocketLint and keep thinking to myself whatever phone we own now or planning to buy look ancient if the perfect battery starts to exist. Imagine a battery that never degrades until after 200,000 times or fully charges in seconds or minutes? We can truly use those phones until we die. The ones we own now or plan to buy look more disposal.
HTC is great at design, build quality, and audio. Terrible at QC and aftersale services. Beware. I was checking out second hand M7 just because I miss that design. Nearly all of them had the purple or pink tinted rear camera. I remember mine also got slower and had weird audio glitches. Don't be fooled by the looks similar to people being duped by Steph Curry's one-trick long range shooting vs someone far better all-around like LeBron. Substance over style is more practical in the long run.
Still, if HTC can marry their HTC 10 capabilities into many Google ideas, the Nexi look be the ones to get for Android. Just avoid Samsung skins like the plague. Might seem great now. Lag city after awhile. I used to think S7 edge is the best smartphone out there. I now think the HTC 10 is more suited for me as a flagship or the Xperia X Performance without being fingerprint magnets and having dual edged gimmicks of the S7e.
So many pretty Chinese or Taiwanese phones out there for a fraction of a cost. Which is why the Nexus has got me interested thanks to Android N bringing back Project Svelte. Not that the S7e isn't a great phone. It is. But after all the smoke and mirrors with Samsung blinding people with design and cosmetic gimmicks like Apple has done for years, you start realizing what you truly find practical.
